Chapter 212 Mom And Dad Will Always Love You
Ebony looked around the ghosts.
She felt like they were no longer scary, so she was scared anymore.
Ebony walked up to the ghost called Rue.
Without makeup on the face, the female ghost totally lost the sense of horror.
Ebony stared at Rue for a while, and then she suddenly said, "Hey! I know you, right?"
Rue looked at Ebony with her dead fisheye-like look.
Ebony slapped her thigh as if she remembered something. She said, "Are you a staff member of "Amazing Tour"? Did you change jobs? Do you remember me? During "Amazing Tour", I treated you to cookies!"
Rue couldn't speak, but if she could, she would have sworn at Ebony on the spot.
Ebony treated her to cookies?
Nonsense! It was when Ebony passed by her, seeing she was eating Oreos, Ebony took her Oreos away!
Rue didn't talk, moving her eyes away. She ignored Ebony.
Ebony then looked elsewhere.
Without the ghost make-up, all the staff were much more pleasing to the eye.
However, Rita, Sarina and Lorena didn't put on the ghost makeup in the first place. They just removed their beauty make-up early on, so their faces were without any make-up now.
Rita and Sarina were trying to retreat behind the crowd in hopes that the camera wouldn't film their faces.
In fact, it was too dark for the camera to film them clearly.
Ebony ignored them. She waved her hand and said, "Now, let's go back."
Then like a mother duck bringing her ducklings, she returned to the first floor with them.
At the dormitory keeper's office.
Justin and Moses had found a new lead!
They found the dormitory keeper's diary.
The the dorm keeper did not write a diary every day.
She only wrote less than one third of a thick hard-shell notebook.
Or maybe this wasn't a diary. It was more of a surveillance record manual.
Turning to the first page, it was about a day in September three years ago.
-- [ September 1st, sunny. Today was the opening day of the school, and dormitory No. 444 had been occupied. This dormitory had been deserted before. It was said that there were too many new students entering the school this year, so they cleaned up and emptied the abandoned room. I hope the previous incident will not happen again. ]
Turning to later pages.
-- [ September 18th, overcast. Nancy gave me a can of mixed vegetables made by her mother today, saying that she thanked me for opening the door for her the night before. During this time, it seems that she and other people in dormitory 444 have a bad relationship. ]
--[ September 31st, overcast. Nancy returned late last night. It was obviously not raining outside, but why was she soaked all over when she came back? Could it be that she also...]
"She also what?"
A female voice suddenly sounded behind them!
Justin and Moses turned their heads at the same time!
Moses was terrified!
Seeing that it was Ebony, Moses breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Miss Gibson, you scared me to death!"
Ebony took the diary, turned to the next page, and said casually, "How can you be so easy to be scared to death?"
Moses shone the flashlight outside, and saw that in the corridor outside the door, a number of ghosts were still following his aunt.
He flashed the flashlight back again and complained to Ebony, "Why didn't you say something to remind us when coming back."
Ebony glanced at the two of them and rolled her eyes. She said, "I did! But you didn't hear me. You guys don't care about me at all!"
Moses was stunned and was about to explain.
Justin suddenly jokingly said, "How come? Mom and Dad will always love you."
Both Ebony and Moses were speechless.
Ebony raised her fist at Justin, saying, "How dare you take advantage of me! I will beat your ass!"
Justin quickly raised his hands and apologized with a smile, "I was just kidding."
After speaking, Justin turned to look at Moses again.
But Moses had no reaction at all, he was just reading the diary.
Justin was stunned.
After a while, he couldn't help but turn his head away and burst into laughter.
Justin also took advantage of Moses. Didn't Moses catch it?
Ebony stared at the diary at this time and asked, "Who is Nancy?"
Moses said, "I don't know. Let's continue to read."
-- [ October 11th, rainy. I saw him send Nancy back to school today! Sure enough, his target was beautiful, innocent, ignorant new students like Nancy. How should I remind her? ]
-- [ October 13th, overcast.I told Nancy that that man was not a good person, but she didn't listen to me. She had been completely bewildered by that man. Will the past repeat again? ]
-- [ January 3rd, overcast. I received a call saying Nancy was dead. The security guard said that she jumped from the sixth floor of the teaching building and fell to her death. But during the winter vacation, why did she go back to school... That devil. It must be that devil who did it! ]
-- [ February 2nd, rainy. There was a transfer student who lived in dormitory 444. Her name was Dora, and she was also very beautiful... I felt very uneasy. ]
There was a lot more going on later in the diary.
After the three of them read it from beginning to end, the dormitory keeper's office fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, Justin was the first to talk, "According to the calculation, in three years, a total of five girls died, which is consistent with the information we found before..."
"The first deceased is Nancy, the second one is Dora, the third one is Kim, the forth one is Nica, and the fifth one is Rue. Among them, Nancy, Dora and Rue all lived in dormitory 444, and the other two did not."
At this time, Ebony corrected, "It should be six people who died, including the girl with a ponytail we saw yesterday."
Justin was stunned, but then nodded and said, "Yes, six people in all. But what connection do these six people have? If he just kills the people in dormitory 444, Kim, Nica and the girl with a ponytail have never lived in dormitory 444."
"And also that man." Moses said at this time, "Who is that man? Mike Hughes?"
Justin frowned and said, "It's possible. After all, Mike is in his third year of high school this year. Three years ago, when he first entered the school, he had time to contact these six girls and kill them one by one."
"Did he kill them? I don't think so."
Ebony cut in at this time, "Mike is just a high school student. Can you believe a high school student killed six people in a row in three years in a small school without being found out by others? You think it's possible?"
Justin and Moses both fell silent.
Ebony added, "Moreover, in the diary, the word 'man' was used to describe the person, rather than "boy". "Man" at least indicates that the person should be an adult."
The dormitory keeper's office became quiet again.
After a while, Justin said, "There is one thing you guys shouldn't forget. The identities of our six guests are all related to Mike. Ebony and Lorena have a crush on Mike, Moses is from the basketball team, and Rita is a cheerleader. Of the six people, the identities of four of them pointed to Mike."
Ebony looked at Justin, asking, "But what about you and Sarina? Who your identities point to? It's unlikely that you guys point to nobody."
Justin murmured, "Sarina is the prettiest girl in school, and I am a school doctor. It seems that there is no connection..."
In the dormitory keeper's office, the three of them were lost in thought.
After a long while, Ebony looked at Justin and asked, "I remember you said that you were the principal's relative?"
Justin nodded, "Yes! Principal Vance Hughes is my..."
Justin suddenly paused while speaking.
Ebony was also stunned. She looked at Justin closely and asked, "Hughes? The principal's last name is Hughes?"
Justin was also shocked by his discovery, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, the principal's name is Vance Hughes. There is his name and photo on the honor wall of the school cafeteria..."
Moses immediately said, "Now things are all connected. Vance and Mike, what is their relationship? Father and son? Uncle and nephew? Let's assume they are father and son. Then Mr. Graham, your identity as a doctor in school is also connected with Mike. But what about Sarina's identity as the prettiest girl in school?
Ebony squinted and said, "What do pretty schoolgirls have? Beauty? It was written in the diary. Nancy and Rue were both pretty... and they were both freshmen of high school. Coincidentally, Sarina was also a freshman, who became a new prettiest girl in Grade One of high school."
Justin looked at Ebony seriously, saying, "You mean, Sarina's existence does not point to the murderer, but instead, she is likely to be the murderer's next target?"
As soon as Justin said that, the entire dormitory keeper's office became much quieter.
After a while, Ebony got up and said, "It's useless to guess. Why don't we go to dormitory 444 to see if there are other leads?"
Justin and Moses stood up and said, "Okay."
The three turned around and were about to leave the dormitory keeper's office.
Suddenly, they stopped.
Outside the door, the corridor that was full of people early on, had now become empty and silent.
Ebony was stunned. She pointed at the door and said in shock, "Where are my repeaters? Who stole them from me?"
"Thud, thud, thud..."
At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded outside.
They were not a woman's footsteps, but a man's.
The footsteps were heavy and slow, moving towards their position and slowly getting closer.
